A Study of ELIGARD® in Hormone-dependent Prostate Cancer Patients

Testosterone level was summarized based on the percentage of participants with \< 20 ng/dL, 20 to 50 ng/dL and \> 50 ng/dL.

Testosterone level was summarized based on the percentage of participants with \< 20 ng/dL, 20 to 50 ng/dL and \> 50 ng/dL.

Time to PSA progression was defined as (date of ≥25 percentage (%) increase and ≥ 2 ng/mL absolute increase) - (date of first administration of ELIGARD 22.5 mg)/30, where PSA progression was defiined as 25% or greater increase and an absolute increase of 2 ng/mL, and confirmed by a second value at least 3 weeks later. Participants with more than 1 qualifying PSA progression were counted only once, and the earlier progression was accounted for time to progression analysis.

PSA percent reduction (%) = (\[PSA tested- baseline PSA\]/baseline PSA)\*100%. PSA level was summarized based on time to PSA progression and PSA percent reduction by ≥ 30% with respect to the level at baseline. Participants with more than 1 qualifying PSA progression were counted only once, and the earlier progression was accounted for time to progression analysis. PSA progression was defined as 25% or greater increase and an absolute increase of 2 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL), and confirmed by a second value at least 3 weeks later.

PSA percent reduction (%) = (\[PSA tested- baseline PSA\]/baseline PSA)\*100%. PSA level was summarized based on time to PSA progression and PSA percent reduction by ≥ 50% with respect to the level at baseline. Participants with more than 1 qualifying PSA progression were counted only once, and the earlier progression was accounted for time to progression analysis. PSA progression was defined as 25% or greater increase and an absolute increase of 2 ng/mL, and confirmed by a second value at least 3 weeks later.

PSA percent reduction (%) = (\[PSA tested- baseline PSA\]/baseline PSA)\*100%. PSA level was summarized based on time to PSA progression and PSA percent reduction by ≥ 90%, with respect to the level at baseline. Participants with more than 1 qualifying PSA progression were counted only once, and the earlier progression was accounted for time to progression analysis. PSA progression was defined as 25% or greater increase and an absolute increase of 2 ng/mL, and confirmed by a second value at least 3 weeks later.

EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome and provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value for health status. EQ-5D-5L is designed for self-completion by respondents and consists of 2 pages comprising the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension of the EQ-5D-5L has 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems) and the participant was asked to indicate his health state by ticking the box with the most appropriate statement. Index scores were generated using Japan value sets. Scores ranged from -0.111 to 1. Higher scores indicate better health state.

Each dimension of the EQ-5D-5L has 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems) and the participant was asked to indicate his health state by ticking the box with the most appropriate statement. Index scores were generated using UK value sets. Scores ranged from -0.594 to 1. Higher scores indicate better health state.

Each dimension of the EQ-5D-5L has 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems) and the participants was asked to indicate his health state by ticking the box with the most appropriate statement. Index scores were generated using US value sets. Scores ranged from -0.109 to 1. Higher scores indicate better health state.

The EQ5D02-EQ-VAS is a vertical VAS with values between 0 (worst imaginable health) and 100 (best imaginable health), on which participants provide a global assessment of their health. Higher score indicate better health state.

EORTC QLQ-PR25 is a prostate cancer module for the assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). EORTC QLQ-PR25 is designed for self-completion by respondents and assesses urinary symptoms, bowel symptoms, treatment-related symptoms and sexual activity and functioning. The rule of scoring for EORTC QLQ-PR25 follows instruction of EORTC QLQ-PR25 Scoring Manual 2.0. It consist of 25 questions distributed on 6 domains: urinary symptoms (8 items), incontinence aid (1 item), bowel symptoms (4 items), hormonal treatment-related symptoms (HTRS) (6 items), sexual activity (2 items), and sexual functioning (4 items). Questions used 4 point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'). All raw domain scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores reflecting either more symptoms (urinary, bowel, hormonal treatment-related symptoms) or higher levels of activity or functioning (sexual).
